Territorial Disputes: International
Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled on the delimitation of
"bolsones" (disputed areas) along the El
Salvador-Honduras boundary, in 1992, with final
agreement by the parties in 2006 after an Organization
of American States (OAS) survey and a further ICJ ruling
in 2003; the 1992 ICJ ruling advised a tripartite
resolution to a maritime boundary in the Gulf of Fonseca
advocating Honduran access to the Pacific; El Salvador
continues to claim tiny Conejo Island, not identified in
the ICJ decision, off Honduras in the Gulf of Fonseca.
